We performed a comparison between eG Enterprise and SolarWinds Server and Application Monitor based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Observability solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Some of the best features of eG are, in terms of APM, they have complete modules between application performance monitoring, server monitoring, and even storage and network-based monitoring. The UI is also quite good. They have some standard AI-based capabilities, even though it's not quite as advanced when compared to Dynatrace. eG has some good, basic APM capabilities."
"Single pane of glass to review status of the full environment."
"The auto-configuration or auto-Thresholding is very important because it saves a phenomenal amount of labor and setup costs and time."
"Sometimes when we face issues with the new technologies or very old technologies where we cannot enhance the service, they move to work with us directly and start doing some development on this area which is very good for us."
"The GUI is nicer than all the other graphical interfaces out there."
"User session details"
"The most important feature is the ability to design, then implement monitoring tests on the fly as we are adapting to different situations."
"EG monitors all infrastructure elements (all OS, all database, storage, network, and web server) from a single console."
"We use the solution as a central monitoring tool. We use it to monitor every transaction that has a relation to the organization’s infrastructure."
"The more valuable feature of this solution is the Exchange feature."
"The features like trends, capacity planning, recommendations, and diagnostics are the main items I focus on for added value."
"SSL Certificate Monitoring and Expiry Alerting"
"The solution is great for monitoring. If something is going wrong, we can immediately find the root cause."
"The initial setup was relatively easy, and we didn't have to install anything. All we had to do was put on the devices we wanted to monitor."
"AppInsight for SQL: Enables us to see the relevant error log entries on the same page as performance parameters."
"Manage Groups: The capability to group appropriate devices gives better visibility of sites, categories, or critical regions. The same can be used to represent a dashboard for higher management."
"The solution should improve on the security side and include some more API integrations into wider application platforms."
"Dashboards are difficult to create, and not so useful."
"would like to see improvements in the alarm display console."
"Needs to improve the networking monitor capabilities."
"Back-end configuration is not easy to implement."
"I can understand why they designed the user interface (UI) the way they did, but sometimes in the management of the eG Manager, it can be a bit clunky."
"eG Enterprise's licensing could be cheaper. Even compared to Dynatrace, I think the price is quite expensive considering the APM functionalities, even though they have other benefits such as info monitoring."
"The interface could be improved as it is not real intuitive. It is not user-friendly."
"Mapping interactions between systems."
"The tool's AppStack needs to improve in the storage monitoring part. It should also include an analytics and recommendation approach. If I have found a fault in a server or application, I would like to know what caused it and how do I recover from it."
"This product has no real downside unless they fail to continue development of its capabilities."
"The product needs to reduce its price."
"The templates could use improvement. Currently, they are quite complex. They should have drag-and-drop functionality instead. It would make it easier to use."
"They should incorporate more artificial intelligence. There should also be more predictive features."
"A lot of times, we have to do a lot of manual cleanups."
"I would like to see support for non-Windows or non-Microsoft domains, especially Apache and other non-Windows servers."
